what would u do?

I'm a FTM and was invited to a wedding approx a month after LO should be born. The wedding is for a good friend and I would like to go. However, it is a good 4 hours away so I would have to drive there early get ready and then spend the night. That means I would be away from LO for one day approx a month after she's born...I do have 2 family members that would watch her but don't know about leaving her for a day that soon. Ant thoughts?

Do you have a family member or a sitter that would come with you? That person could stay at the hotel ( I'm assuming since you said you are staying over night ) or wherever while you are at the wedding with the baby .

I'm due march 20th and leave for Jamaica April 14th for a wedding! This is baby no. 4, so I'm not too worried. The baby will be fine for the night, but if you won't enjoy yourself see if the sitter will come along.

I love that u aren't just sitting it out! Don't feel guilty about leaving if u are totally comfortable with the sitter! It's one night and most of a day.....relax, get some quiet time and then LOVE baby even more when u get home! Lol

It's a very tough decision but you should probably go :( one of my best friends is getting married in Mexico 5 weeks after my due date so I have to miss it and feel terrible. There is no way I'm leaving the country with my newborn behind. I would love if she was getting married 4 hrs away!! I will have to go to her bachelorette party about 3 hrs away 3 weeks after my due date! You can only do what you can do and don't feel bad for your decision... Your family is #1 now!

Hi Millkat , I was in Jamaica Dec 22 for a week of vacation , it was amazing . But please do not drive , do not rent a car to drive . Have a driver , take a taxi, and do not leave your resort as much as u can . Just because of the driving situation with your baby . I don't want to scare u, but 3 Canadians just passed in a car accident on the way to the hospital ! They were rushing to take their 2 year old , who had difficulty breathing to the hospital . But I had ax amazing and relaxing time there . Have tons of fun .
